Integrated DoD Voice and Data Networks and Ground Packet Radio Technology Volume 4. Ground Packet Radio Technology
Abstract
Repeaters in the radio network need to be initialized by the station; namely, to receive a so-called label which enables addressing specific devices during packet transportation. It is assumed that a priori the station is not informed of the existance and location of specific repeaters. Hence, the initialization process involves sending special control packets, called Repeater On Packets (ROP's) from repeaters to the station to inform existance and location, the transmission of labels by the station to repeaters identified, and the transmission of End-to-End Acknowledgments (ETE Ack's) by repeaters which receive a label. A repeater is considered by the station to be initialized after the station receives an ETE Ack to the label packet.
